Wimbledon 2025

Strawberries and cream, all-white outfits, and the most prestigious tournament in tennis – yes, it’s time for Wimbledon 2025! From June 30 to July 13, the Wimbledon Championships return to the All England Lawn Tennis Club for two weeks of intense matches, rivalries, and the best atmosphere in the sport. This is a bucket-list event for any tennis fan: from the thrill of the ladies' singles and gentlemen’s quarter-finals to the excitement of the mixed doubles final and the electric atmosphere.

The History of Wimbledon

Wimbledon is the grandfather of all Grand Slams. First played in 1877, it started as a gentlemen’s singles event with just 22 players. Over time, it grew into the most prestigious tennis tournament on the planet, adding ladies' singles, doubles events, and mixed doubles, all while maintaining its signature traditions.

The strict all-white dress code, the royal box, and the iconic strawberries and cream are a part of what makes Wimbledon a symbol of tennis excellence. Some of the sport’s greatest legends – Björn Borg, Martina Navratilova, Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and Novak Djokovic – have lifted the trophy here, solidifying their places in tennis history.

The tradition of strawberries and cream dates back over a century, this simple yet elegant treat is synonymous with the tournament, with spectators consuming around 28,000 kg of strawberries and 7,000 liters of cream each year.

But that’s not the only quirky tradition at Wimbledon. Ever noticed the pineapple on top of the Gentlemen’s Singles Trophy? It might seem like an odd choice, but it actually symbolizes luxury and hospitality from the 19th century, when pineapples were a rare and expensive delicacy. Wimbledon is all about tradition, and these small details only add to its charm!
